Your 2027 passport stamps are about to get interesting.
Six places South Africans are eyeing next year, from easy favourites to a few that most people haven’t heard of yet. Swipe through and see which one calls your name. 👉
🌴 Mauritius: one of our all-time favourites, and you don’t need a visa.
✈️ Zanzibar: Airlink and FlySafair both fly direct from Johannesburg, so spice markets, Stone Town lanes and white-sand beaches are a lot closer.
🇦🇺 Perth: Qantas flies direct from Johannesburg three times a week. Australia’s sunniest city, no stopover needed.
🛕 Bali: temples, rice terraces and sunsets, visa-free for up to 30 days.
🌅 Samburu, Kenya: a quieter kind of safari, with community-led experiences and big skies. Kenya is visa-free for South Africans for up to 90 days.
🐠 Fulidhoo, Maldives: skip the resort prices. This local island has stingrays gliding through the shallows, and it’s on Lonely Planet’s 2027 list.
